  • Title: Chloramphenicol pretreatment enhances resistance to UV, X-rays and H2O2 damage in Escherichia coli but not of infecting UV-damaged phages.
    Author: Fernandes PM, Carvalho RE, Leitão AC.
    Journal: Braz J Med Biol Res; 1987; 20(6):873-5. PubMed ID: 3331955.
    Abstract:
    Chloramphenicol pretreatment of Escherichia coli increases resistance to UV, X-rays and H2O2 damage. Increased survival of UV-irradiated, infecting lambda phages is not observed. The hypothesis that enhanced survival of chloramphenicol-pretreated cells is due to the induction of plasmid "repairons" is questioned.
